Translation Management Software: How It Works

Smartling has helped some of the world’s fastest-growing companies create hundreds of translated websites using our seven-phase website translation system. Breaking the process down into its core elements and adding automation along with easy-to-use translation software helps accelerate time-to-market, improve content quality, and minimize costs. Here’s how it works:

Phase 1: Collect Content

Often the most difficult steps of a translation project is collecting the content to be translated and sharing it with translation resources. Without automation, this can mean countless hours of cutting and pasting and tracking pages in spreadsheets. Smartling’s Translation Management System automates and centralizes content collection with its API that talks to your source applications and automatically adds new, source content to your translation workflow.

Phase 2: Translate

You can use your own translation resources or, if you wish, leverage Smartling Language Services and our extensive network of trusted professionals. Once translation begins, your translator will have access to our translation tools, which let them work in context and see exactly what the content will look like in its final form. This helps them account for design elements and space constraints the first time, saving you the expense and delay of multiple revisions. You can even create style guides and glossaries that guide translators on the tone of content and appropriate terminology, among other things.

Phase 3: Review and Approve

Use our custom workflows to facilitate the review, editing, approval, and tracking of translated content. Reviewers utilize the same in-context tools as translators and receive automated alerts and notifications when actions are required. Project managers can follow the entire process and report at will on the progress of the project.

Phase 4: Return Translated Content

Once the translated content is reviewed and approved, it takes a return trip to your source system, once again via Smartling’s API. You don’t need to cut and paste the new content into your environment; it happens easily and automatically.

Phase 5: Learn and Store

Brands often repurpose words, phrases, and even paragraphs across different platforms. In those instances, there’s no need to translate content over and over again. With Smartling, translations get stored in a translation memory that continuously analyzes your content over time, eliminating duplication and sharply reducing translation costs and turnaround times.

Phase 6: Measure and Analyze

It’s important that you’re able to prove the success and the return on investment (ROI) of your localized content. Smartling’s Translation Management Platform helps you do that by providing real-time reports and analytics that give you actionable insight into how your content and translation resources are performing

Phase 7: Maintain

Content is constantly evolving. With Smartling, you don’t have to worry about tracking changes or having out of sync websites because we make sure content collection never stops. Each time a change is made, the new content is automatically collected and placed in the translation workflow. This ensures perfect harmony between websites in many languages and relieves you of the effort required to manage every change.Experience has given Smartling a clear understanding of the phases necessary for a successful website translation project. We’d love to talk about how we can put that experience to work for you and help you expand your global reach as quickly and cost effectively as possible.
